Purchase Order N0010426PYA07

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) awarded Schaeffler Aerospace USA Corp a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $226,052 on October 15, 2025, for the procurement of annular ball bearings. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed at the contractor's facility in Danbury, Connecticut, with an ultimate completion date of December 29, 2027. Schaeffler Aerospace USA Corp, a foreign-owned precision bearing manufacturer and division of the global Schaeffler AG conglomerate, serves as a critical supplier of specialized bearing components to the Department of Defense across multiple military platforms, including fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, engines, ground vehicles, and naval vessels.

This award originated from a pre-solicitation opportunity posted on May 9, 2025, seeking 124 ball bearings (NSN 3H-3110-009873723-NT) with Technical Design Package Version 016 that require engineering source approval from the design control activity. The specialized nature of these bearings, which are not economically replaceable by alternative sources, necessitated stringent vendor qualification procedures approved by the cognizant government engineering activity. Schaeffler Aerospace has established itself as a trusted supplier through its existing portfolio of five single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, collectively valued at approximately $1.7 million, demonstrating the company's proven capability to support critical military bearing technology requirements across various scale requirements.
